Abstract: Abstract Interview holds a prominent place among qualitative research methods, and it has been widely used in construction and demolition waste management research. Based on the literature review of interview-based related research, the status quo of interview applications is analyzed. Consequently, an interview guideline of interview-related methods is proposed according to the ratio between the number of interviewers and interviewees for effective implementation of interview methods. This paper classifies interview methods into four scenarios: Type I (one to one, 1:1), Type II (one to many, 1: n), Type III (many to one, m:1), and Type IV (many to many, m:n). Through a series of case studies, the application of the guide is demonstrated, and the corresponding best practices are summarized. Overall, this paper provides references for researchers to select the most appropriate interview method in construction and demolition waste research, and manage the interview process effectively.
